Being baby spawns of Cthulhu aside, they are adorbs. But perhaps that's why they're so cute, it's probably all a ploy to end the world or something idek.

Also hello! It's nice to meet you~ :3

Well I didn't expect a kind of Spanish inquisition.
*dramatic hamster music*

[occults]

Aww really? I kinda just found a random .gif on tumblr. xD;

[snarkasaurus]

that may be the most accurate statement ever.

Nice to meet you, too! I'll be friending your awesomeness now. :D

[occults]

Sure! That sounds lovely. I do need more people who share my book interests. I seem to be reading a lot more lately anyway. I'll add you back.

[shadowkeeper]

hello! :)
I waatsh a bit of Castle myself. And Arrow

[shadowkeeper]

I like how you drew a distinction between rude assholes and charming assholes. I have a thing for charming assholes, but the other kind aren't much fun
But Snarky geniuses! Yay. Friends?

(I semi agree with you on the zombies thing because I do appreciate a good zombie movie once in awhile, but as cute as it is, the trailer for Warm Bodies really weirds me out.)

[snarkasaurus]

There is a massive difference between rude assholes an charming assholes. XD and I, too, have a thing for charming assholes. XD

YAY! FRIENDS!!

...oh god, what? what?? ~horrified~

My roommate and I were watching tv the other night, and the trailer for World War Z came on, and we were both really intrigued, because it looked fascinating and awesome and then BAM IT'S ABOUT ZOMBIES!! and while she cheered, I was all NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And she thinks it's hilarious because now I'm going to have to see it, dammit. She's gonna wind up with clawmarks on her arm.

[shadowkeeper]

The World War Z movie looks horrendous. But the book was pretty good? There's only limited zombie mentions there but the human drama was really well drawn.

(But seriously! Warm Bodies! Who thinks ZOMBIE ROMANCE is a good idea? I can't not think of anything but necrophilia every time that trailer comes up)

[snarkasaurus]

never read the book, have absolutely no frame of reference.

....oh god, what? Zombie Romance?! ~HORRIFIED~ i have not heard about this at all.

[shadowkeeper]

By *doing* the fandom thing, I guess you mean the fic/fanart/vidding thing? I mean, the baseline for fandom is pretty much enjoying things, but I know enough people who don't like taking it farther than that.

The only familiarity I have with Cockney rhyming slang was what was on QI once. It is really something people actually do?

[leia_solo]

I'm a pasta fiend! I'm also anticipating the new season of Game of Thrones!

Would you like to be friends? My post is few comments up.

[shadowkeeper]

Love 75% of your current//past fandoms list.
But :( about your onions thing. I'm the *onions in everything! Raw? That's cool too!* person.

And hey. Jurassic Park! I mean, my friend is going to "drag" me to go see it in 3d?

[leia_solo]

We have a lot of fandoms in common and absolutely love period dramas! Here's my thread. I'd love to friend you!

[shadowkeeper]

It's a movie with Nicholas Holt as one of those slow moving zombies. Who just looks like attractive dude with slightly abnorally pale skin and dark eye shadow. Apparently all he wants to do is *connect* with someone, but oh, well, he's dead.
Then he meets bad-ass apocalypse surviving girl, falls in love with her and gains a heartbeat and comes more and more "alive"? Then the trailer shows how all the *really evil* zombies (the one who are like mindless evil rat-like skeletons) are going to try to kill everyone and meanwhile all the human shaped zombies are catching heartbeats like it's a virus and they *come back to life* or something so they help the humans.

I'm new! *waves*

what even?!

[shadowkeeper]

(hope that worked)

The tone seems to be horrifyingly adorable.

Elizabeth Mitchell is a fandom all on her own and like, the BEST one :)

Female characters are awesome. Bashing them is not.

I shall add you :)

[shadowkeeper]

Or not.
link!

[mfirefly10]

Elizabeth Mitchell has RIDICULOUS amounts of chemistry with everyone, this is true. But I mostly ship everyone/everyone anyway so, I always assume I'm a bit biased :)


What I hate even more than female character bashing is badly written female characters in a show. Because it's the ultimate form of female character bashing.

On the one hand, yes but at the same time, a lot of people seem to use the 'she's poorly written/doesn't get enough character development/only a love interest/so on' excuse as reasons to hate on female characters. And I think there's a difference between female characters who are truly badly written and ones that just don't get enough character development or are surrounded by terrible storylines. For instance, the women of the Stargateverse tended to be overlooked or stuck in ridiculous plots a lot of the time. But I don't really think any of them were badly written, they just got screwed over by the writers.

Drive by Arsenal love. :)

[turnerwolf]

I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to my Sherlock Holmes and prefer the Granada series but I do enjoy anything Sherlock Holmes and I loved Jeeves and Wooster- both the books and Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry's take on the characters and their exploits. Love Downton Abbey too. Shall we give friendship a go?

[congo]

Totally the best one!

Adding you back. :D

[congo]

Yay! Friends? :)

Awww, that's okay. You can have all the onions I don't like. (Except for onion rings. Weirdly enough, I love those. ...don't ask, I have no idea.)

Hahahaha. Yeah, I'm sure that's how it's gonna happen.
